A Graphical User Interface (GUI) for analysis of Affymetrix microarray gene expression data using the affy and limma packages.

The package helps with the assessment and correction of RNA degradation effects in Affymetrix 3' expression arrays. The parameter d gives a robust and accurate measure of RNA integrity. The correction removes the probe positional bias, and thus improves comparability of samples that are affected by RNA degradation.

Supporting data on Zenodo <https://zenodo.org/record/10813168> include, for instance, 71M variants across hg19 and hg38 genome builds. The 'AlphaMissenseR' package allows ready access to the data, downloading individual files to DuckDB databases for exploration and integration into *R* and *Bioconductor* workflows.

Convenience data structures and functions to handle cdfenvs

Integrating an increasing number of available multi-omics cancer data remains one of the main challenges to improve our understanding of cancer. One of the main challenges is using multi-omics data for identifying novel cancer driver genes. We have developed an algorithm, called AMARETTO, that integrates copy number, DNA methylation and gene expression data to identify a set of driver genes by analyzing cancer samples and connects them to clusters of co-expressed genes, which we define as modules. We applied AMARETTO in a pancancer setting to identify cancer driver genes and their modules on multiple cancer sites. AMARETTO captures modules enriched in angiogenesis, cell cycle and EMT, and modules that accurately predict survival and molecular subtypes. This allows AMARETTO to identify novel cancer driver genes directing canonical cancer pathways.

A pure data-driven gene network, weighted gene co-expression network (WGCN) could be constructed only from expression profile. Different layers in such networks may represent different time points, multiple conditions or various species. AMOUNTAIN aims to search active modules in multi-layer WGCN using a continuous optimization approach.

ANCOMBC is a package containing differential abundance (DA) and correlation analyses for microbiome data. Specifically, the package includes Analysis of Compositions of Microbiomes with Bias Correction 2 (ANCOM-BC2), Analysis of Compositions of Microbiomes with Bias Correction (ANCOM-BC), and Analysis of Composition of Microbiomes (ANCOM) for DA analysis, and Sparse Estimation of Correlations among Microbiomes (SECOM) for correlation analysis. Microbiome data are typically subject to two sources of biases: unequal sampling fractions (sample-specific biases) and differential sequencing efficiencies (taxon-specific biases). Methodologies included in the ANCOMBC package are designed to correct these biases and construct statistically consistent estimators.

This package is used for complex patient clustering by integrating multi-omic data through affinity network fusion.

Given a set of genomic sites/regions (e.g. ChIP-seq peaks, CpGs, differentially methylated CpGs or regions, SNPs, etc.) it is often of interest to investigate the intersecting genomic annotations. Such annotations include those relating to gene models (promoters, 5'UTRs, exons, introns, and 3'UTRs), CpGs (CpG islands, CpG shores, CpG shelves), or regulatory sequences such as enhancers. The annotatr package provides an easy way to summarize and visualize the intersection of genomic sites/regions with genomic annotations.

Genome wide studies of translational control is emerging as a tool to study verious biological conditions. The output from such analysis is both the mRNA level (e.g. cytosolic mRNA level) and the levl of mRNA actively involved in translation (the actively translating mRNA level) for each mRNA. The standard analysis of such data strives towards identifying differential translational between two or more sample classes - i.e. differences in actively translated mRNA levels that are independent of underlying differences in cytosolic mRNA levels. This package allows for such analysis using partial variances and the random variance model. As 10s of thousands of mRNAs are analyzed in parallell the library performs a number of tests to assure that the data set is suitable for such analysis.

anota2seq provides analysis of translational efficiency and differential expression analysis for polysome-profiling and ribosome-profiling studies (two or more sample classes) quantified by RNA sequencing or DNA-microarray. Polysome-profiling and ribosome-profiling typically generate data for two RNA sources; translated mRNA and total mRNA. Analysis of differential expression is used to estimate changes within each RNA source (i.e. translated mRNA or total mRNA). Analysis of translational efficiency aims to identify changes in translation efficiency leading to altered protein levels that are independent of total mRNA levels (i.e. changes in translated mRNA that are independent of levels of total mRNA) or buffering, a mechanism regulating translational efficiency so that protein levels remain constant despite fluctuating total mRNA levels (i.e. changes in total mRNA that are independent of levels of translated mRNA). anota2seq applies analysis of partial variance and the random variance model to fulfill these tasks.

Implements gene expression anti-profiles as described in Corrada Bravo et al., BMC Bioinformatics 2012, 13:272 doi:10.1186/1471-2105-13-272.

AnVILBilling helps monitor AnVIL-related costs in R, using queries to a BigQuery table to which costs are exported daily. Functions are defined to help categorize tasks and associated expenditures, and to visualize and explore expense profiles over time. This package will be expanded to help users estimate costs for specific task sets.

Use this package to create or update AnVIL workspaces from resources such as R / Bioconductor packages. The metadata about the package (e.g., select information from the package DESCRIPTION file and from vignette YAML headings) are used to populate the 'DASHBOARD'. Vignettes are translated to python notebooks ready for evaluation in AnVIL.

The AnVIL is a cloud computing resource developed in part by the National Human Genome Research Institute. The main cloud-based genomics platform deported by the AnVIL project is Terra. The AnVILWorkflow package allows remote access to Terra implemented workflows, enabling end-user to utilize Terra/ AnVIL provided resources - such as data, workflows, and flexible/scalble computing resources - through the conventional R functions.
